SECRETARY.—James Taylor, Esq. The object of thi s I ns titution is the restoration of the ment a "eulties of person sin the upper walks of life when disturbed by disease or other causes. Persons of fortune, whose nervous tem perament may make a t emporary retirement desirable, will here find protection and a hope, the Institution being conducted on princi ples involving most important advantages, as connected with the ultimate recovery of the Invalids, and the security and satisfaction afforded to their friends ; namely, first, that of studying the hap piness and amusements of the Patients, and preventing them, as much as possible, (though at all times under proper moral and me !ice' restraints), from feeling that they are excluded from the or dinary privileges of society ; secondly, that of classifying the Pa tients in separate establishments, and not allowing those whose disease assumes a permanently violent, or in any way permanently offensive character, to reside in the establishment appropriated to inch as are capable of enjoying the privileges of social intercourse ; and, thirdly, that of placing each establishment at all times under an entirely disinterested surveillance. The gre a t an d most important novel feature of this Institution is, that, while each of its establishments is in the strictest sense a Private Asyl um as regards the names and family connexions of its inmates, and the special accommodation provided for those who require it, it is, in the most important sense, a Public Asylum, inasmuch as the visits of the usual Medical Attendant of the Patients, or their friends and relatives, are allowed without any previous notice; while every opportunity of searching into abuses or mismanage ment, as well a s the power of restoring the Patients to their friends, or to g eneral s ociety, when it may be done with propriety, is given pe rsons of the highest rank, talent, and acknowledged integrity, and who have no interest whatever in the pecuniary arrangements or emoluments of the Institution ; thus affording opportunities for the Patients to make complaints, whether frivolous or just, without the fear of being afterwards harshly treated, of which so many dis tressing instances occur. It is a melancholy fact, that, while the Pauper Lunatics in the co unty asylums are protected by the disinterested surveillance of the independent magistracy of the country, and are blessed with the medical attendance of a resident paid officer of first-rate talent, whose emoluments do net depend in any way on the number of pa tients he can retain in the County Asylum; the unfortunate suf ferer in the higher walks of life has no refuge but the ordinary licensed madhouse or private residence, where there is no surveil lance, and where the interests of the medical man, and of every one by whom the Invalids are surrounded, are notoriously so much more promoted by their remaining lunatic than by their recovery, that a constant struggle between principle and self-interest must be the result, while their friends often dare not encounter the re sroaches of the world for thus consigning them to what is too often tot unjustly considered as a cruel and heartless oblivion, and are, herefore, induced, at any sacrifice of comfort or convenience, to keep hem at home, an arrangement at all times, it is well known, least kely to promote their recovery. To provide a remedy for this obvious and crying evil, the bane E all existing Private Lunatic Establishments for the upper classes, ie present Institution has been founded, and placed under the dis detested surveillance of its Vice-Patrons, Noblemen, and Gentle ten, whose high public character and station in society cannot fail insure public confidence, and who have no other interest in the astitation but what is prompted by a noble desire to benefit mankind. 'o these Vice-Patrons is given the power, whenever they choose ) exercise it, of visiting the Institution, of instituting inquiries, of ommunicatin g with the Resident Medical Officer of the Institution, r with the friends of the parties, and of restoring any patients to hem, or to general society, without reference to the Committee of lanagement, or to the Proprietors of the various Establishments f the Institution. To the Committee of Management are con ded the arrangements for receiving patients into the Institution, nd the superintendence of the detailed management of its Este lishments ; so as to secure the perfect carrying out of the social, isinterested, and effective plans which it embraces. To remove le temptation to detain any patient beyond the period necessary to itablish a cure ( where a cure is practicable), the Resident Medical ifficer of each Establishment has a salary wholly independent of le emoluments of the Institution, in which he will not be allowed, irectly or indirectly, at any time to participate, so that his disin ,trestect attention is at all times exclusively directed to the cure of he patients, and the discharge of such as recover under the treat tent, or whose friends wish them to be removed ; while, as a briber stimulus to his exertions in this respect, a premium is branded to him by the Institution for every patient permanently cued, according to a fixed scale dependent on the shortness of the )nod during which the patient has been under his care. On him aane devolves the entire responsibility of the medical treatment of *e patients ; it being obvious to those who confide their invalid fiends or relatives to the care of this Institution, that this respon ibility is of a nature that cannot be shared by the Committee of danagement. 'The great hope of the promoters of this Institution is, that they may be able to set an example of a more attentive, benign , social , active, and e ff ect i ve system of treatment for persons afflicted with mental diseases than has hitherto been adopted ; to prevent the pa tients feeling that they are outcasts from society , and unfit for so eta' intercourse, and to direct and encourage tha t p ortion of the in tellect which yet remains into amusing sou rces of occu p ation, while st rict attenti on to health, air, and exercise, works the restoration, rendered hopeless only by neglect of these important considera tion-. b._ ? very object of' luxury or taste which the eye of the patients 2 0 5 been accustomed to dwell upon, if suddenly removed from them, ,7 1 rks evil, which, however gradual in its progress or imperceptible its origi n is not the less certain in its ultimate in j urious effects; lnd if a permanent cure be the honest intention of the p arties en trusted with their care, the Patients should not be allowed, for one orment to feel that their removal from the noise and bustle of the sr , I d as Invalids, is more than a temporary retiremen t for the o te effectual cure of a temporary disorder, an object which can ;::1 be obtained by giving them every social and domestic comfort amusement which their disturbed state of mind may leave them Pable of appreciating. This system, which reason dictates and ho med will approves, once fairly introduced to public notice, it is hetwill lead to its extension, if not voluntarily, at least by some of the Legislature ; for it is surely impossible that the present in , e , tl led and supine if not worse, treatment of the Upper Classes e n f ri vate Lunatic A'sylunins, can be endured by an intelligent and ,„_ t iOtten e a p eo pl e , who, while their best energies are directed to 43 borate the condition of the Pauper Lunatic, leave the more nent but equally helpless class of their afflicted fellow-beings a e b b to the unmitigat miseries of mental inaction in those Esta ebt "lents, w h ere their bodily wants are too often made the only J,l:4lts of att en ti on or so licitude. Pry Th e principal E s tablishment belonging to the Institu tion, and at L e " open for the reception of Invalids, is Denham Park, near Zue.idge, in the Cou n ty of Buckingham, seventeen miles from t a i x il l 6 ns where a sane society of persons has been provided, whose h e ,. ng judiciously with the patients, both male and female, toge th.! With the other numerous appliances of the place, prevents i tit ' lr feeling that they are outcasts from society, or unfit for social th, e , r eourse. Denham Park is a noble mansion, fit for the recep elt;: of Persons in any rank of life; containing a private consecrated s t rl, where the family, and such of the Patients as may be be t% ,by it, assemble daily for morning and evening prayers. The li a ; d l LrY round it is very beautiful ; horses, carriages, gardens, bit ese„s? archery, fishing, music, a library, and, in short, every re "°,l and am usement, both in and out of doors, calculated to Is remark the mind and promote the health, are provided. The house z n ; l .ably dry and airy, replete with spacious suites of apart ti", on a scale seldom met with ; the situation is pleasantly re and celebrated for its salubrity. , 4 he Terms of Admission for both Sexes at Denham Park, though eo ' es sarily higher than at other establishments on a less advanta amtta and extensive plan, are regulated by the means of the parties, k a the extent of accommodation required; and the Committee of melds gement are most anxious in all cases that the friends of the s ire 4t das should personally inspect the establishment before the terms finally agreed upon. t er . e Payments are required to be made quarterly, and each quer 1 40 ' Payment t o b e made in advance; but if the p atients are re ti:ed before the end of any quarter, allowance is made for the th et hey do net stay, and a return made accordingly. Terms for ~.a u rnission of friends or relatives visiting or residing with the petits at Den - ham Park, in cases where the Resident Medical ag see 6 ra r approves of such an arrangement, are regulated by special axs Communications will be considered as strictly confidential, Itt ic i„ - ` ll l be addressed to any one of the Committee of Management, tle t l Cover to the Secretary, James Taylor, Esq., addressed, t tn-park, near Uxbridge, Bucks ItWLA ND'S ODONTO.

BETTS, and CO. respectfully request their T., • friends not to postpone giving their Orders for the PATENT BRANDY beyond the 20th instant, as the multiplicity of orders from that time to Christmas, renders it impossible for them to re gulate their deliveries with that punctuality which it has ever been their anxious wish to observe. The Patentees in consequence of the numerous imitators of the Patent Brandy avail themselves of this opportunity to state that the peculiar wholesome properties of their Brandy, attested by many eminent Chemists and frequently published since its introduction in 1829, are secured by Patent Right, which in itself forms a sufficient guarantee, if purchasers be careful to establish the identity of the article. The only Establishment of J. T. Betts and Co. is the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leading to St. John-street, where the Pa tent Brandy may be had, either pale or coloured, in quantities not less than two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon' for Cash on delivery.

CAPTAIN PIDDING lately presented a Box of this famed TEA, ca ll e d Loong-tsing, to the Medico-Bota nical Society. I t i s we ll k nown that Captain Pidding is also the exclusive importer of the celebrated " HOWQUA'S MIX TURE" TEA, which Dr. Sigmond has pronounced to be "' A standard Tea in this country.' And whilst so many are debating what to send their country friends at this social season, it may be doubted whether anything of equal cost would be preferred to a packet of this deservedly famed Tea."—Morning Chronicle. Captain Pidding's " HOWQUA'S MIXTURE" (Black Tea), and " HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER" (Green Tea), can only be had of C. VEREY (Swiss Confectioner), 218, Regent•street, and LITTLEJOHN and SON, 77, King William street, City, his sole Agents in London. All offered by others arc spurious.

The steadily increasing business of this Institution, affords the most satisfactory evidence that the more the peculiar advantages secured to its members become known, the more they are justly appreciated and approved. The Directors, therefore, feel it to be their duty to endeavour to extend the sphere of its usefulness as widely as possible, by keeping the public attention directed to its important benefits. The distinguishing characteristic of this Establishment is its En tire Mutuality. The Whole Profits will be equitably divided amongst all the As surers, who have the option to apply them to the reduction of tho Premiums or to increase the sums assured. The Acts of Parliament relating to Friendly Societies, under which the Institution is enrolled, confer the important privileges of Exemption from Stamp Duties, and permission to invest its funds with the Commissioners of the National Debt, at a liberal rate of interest, secure from loss by the fluctuation in the value of other Government Securities. These privileges must, it is obvious, be most valuable in aid of the accumulation of profits. Amongst other advantages to Assurers it may be stated, that every Assurer i 3 a Member, free from individual responsibility, and entitled to attend and vote at the General Meetings of the So ciety. No Member can be involved in legal expense, as should any dis pute arise, it must be settled by arbitrators appointed agreeably with the aforesaid Acts of Parliament. Assurers may secure the benefit of their policies to nominees free of all expense. Attendanc e at the Office in London daily, from Ten to Four, and for the facility of Assurers in the country, Agents and Medics, Referees are appointed in most of the principal towns.

In this Office Assurers for the whole term of life have the option, as most accords with their views and circumstances, either of securing a certain sum at death at a low rate of Premium ; or of participating in 3 4 of the nett profits of the Company on paying an increased rate of Premium.

Assurers on the non-bonus system may contract to pay their Premiums either in one sum, in a given number of payments, in annual, half-yearly, or quarterly payments, or in any other way most suitable to their convenience. Officers in the Army and Navy, when in active service, Persons afflicted with chronic and other diseases, and such as are going beyond the limits of Europe, are also Assured at moderate Rates.

I Since which period, its further increase has been proportionally rapid. Assurances which may now be opened will rateably participate, agreeably to the Laws of the Society, in the additions to be declared at the ensuing Periodical Investigation. The THIRD PERIODICAL INVESTIGATION takes place at 31st December instant, when ADDITIONS by way of BONUS will be DECLARED to ALL ASSURANCES OPENED PRE VIOUS TO THAT DATE, in terms of, and under the Limita tions contained in the Articles of Constitution and Laws of the Society. These additions, when declared, are added to and incorporated with the original Assurances, and all future additions, whether re trospectively or prospectively, are computed, not on the original, but on the accumulated amount of the Assurance. As it is pro bable that on this, as on former similar occasions, the desire to par ticipate in these benefits will very largely increase the number of proposals for Assurance which will be made to the Society previous to the closing of the books for the current year, it will greatly fa cilitate the duties of the officers of the Society, and at the various Branches th roug h out the country, that parties intending to propose Assurance do so with as little delay as possible, in order to prevent the inconvenience which the delaying of them till the latest possible moment at which they can be received or carried through, con sistently w i t h t h e Society's regulations, has given rise to in former occasions. Parties w i s hi ng to effect Assurances, so as b est to meet any par ticular contin gency, or effect any spec ifi c o bj ec t, will receive the requisite information, and have the suitable form of Proposal trans mitted to them ; and all official communications of this nature are considered strictly confidential.
